TS 2008 printing to a local print server

[Roman Tumaykin]

Hi all,

I've got the following problem. I have Terminal Services on Windows server
2008 with a few apps enabled to be used through the TS RemoteApp. Some of
those applications need to print to the local printers. So far I can't seem
to do so. The remote app sees the redirected printer on my laptop, displays
the dialog, then I can see that it really sends some data to the printer
(data transfer led blinks on the print server) and then nothing.... However
when I try to print to an Acrobat printer on my laptop, then everything
works fine.

Is this a problem with my print server which is rfrelatively old one, or is
it a problem with the printer - HP DeskJet 940c? Any idea is appreciated!

Thank you

Roman

Any error logged in the event log? This do seem like a problem with the
printer. Check if there is an update to the printer driver.

Hello all,

Mine is very similar to Roman's problem except that the printer is connected
via USB to the client PC. I believe I got TS Easy Print working after
satisfying all the requirements of RDP 6 and .Net Framework 3. Also, I
observed that if I connect via Remote Desktop Connection to the server, I can
do a Print Test Page to the redirected printer, but could not with the
application.

The same application is working fine on TS 2003 without any issue. Thanks in
advance to any insight...
